KarenO · October 31, 2017

Hello All,
I am looking for this tomato. I have lots and lots to trade if anyone has it.

Karen I should think that you have been here long enough to know that you would get a better response to this if you posted it in the Wanted section of the Seed Exchange Forum.

Ahhh "schooled" again by the self promoted tomatoville police.
I have been here long enough to know that more people will see my request here.
With your generous permission I shall rephrase my question:
Has anyone on Tomatoville grown a tomato called Pomidor Paw and if so what was your opinion of it.
Happy halloween.

Karen, this tomato was very popular in Poland 30-40 years ago. Nobody is selling it now and I didn't find this variety at any forum swap.
I found only one information about Tomato (Pomidor) Paw: late, ind., pink tomatoes, pale pik flesh , oblate, juicy, tasty, weight 60-80 g, for fresh use and canning, tunnels or ground.
One of the garden forum members is writing about old Polish varieties and he found this description in an old newspaper.

Yesterday I googled it and got as far as Poland, saw the word pomidor, but I don't read polish, was going to contact some of our Polish Tville members, so Dorota, I'm glad you could share what you know.

Carolyn, "tomato" is "pomidor" in Polish. So you could find lots of informations about tomatoes. And the variety Polish name "Paw" means Peacock.

Yes,I knew from my googling that pomidor means tomato in polish, but I didn't know that paw meant peacock in Polish. Yes, I know peacocks, but now I'm curious. What's the connection between those gorgeous peacock feathers and a tomato variety?

Thank you so much for the information Dorota and Carolyn!
Dorota, do you think it is likely that the tomato was open pollinated rather than a hybrid?
I am looking for seed for a person who has been generous with sharing seed with me. It is his holy grail of tomatoes and I was hoping to find seed for him.

Dorota has kindly offered to check in the Polish forums which is very kind indeed.
Thank you Carolyn for another possibility as well. I will message Gunnar asking if he knows of it.
I appreciate the help. It’s not often I ask for any.

Wow, looks like you are getting your needs taken care of right here in the general discussion forum. How about that!

Seriously, this is very interesting about air force vs peacock. Cool thread!

Yes indeed. I am glad that I parked my broomstick long enough to ask my question. Hot on the trail of Pomidor paw now.
If it still exists it shall be found.

Karen, were you able to find Gunnar? I know I told you that he was about the last one to post in that Language Translation thread.

I should have linked to it but didn't, so did you find it?

Still hoping you get some seeds and it won't be a futile cold case anymore.

Carolyn

dorota · November 3, 2017

Karen, tomato Paw happily still exists.

I hope I'll get seeds in a week or two.
